*📜 Plan description

The Small plan is designed for individuals and small projects who need a reliable home for their web presence without the overhead of a large package. It includes 1 GB (1 000 MB) of fast SSD-based disk space to store your website files, databases and emails, together with 10 GB of monthly traffic which is plenty for personal sites or low-traffic blogs. You can host up to 2 fully-fledged websites in one account and create up to 20 sub-domains for organizing sections of your site. Imunify malware protection monitors and automatically cleans your files to keep your account safe, and the platform runs on enterprise-grade servers with daily automatic backups so you never lose data. A free domain name registration is included with the plan so you can secure your brand name without an additional cost, and the built-in RVSiteBuilder lets you create professional looking websites using easy drag-and-drop templates. Over 300 popular scripts can be installed in just a few clicks via the auto-installer, and the control panel interface makes it easy to manage your email accounts, databases and files. Support is available 24 hours a day via phone, live chat, email and help desk, and there is a generous 60-day money-back guarantee in case the plan does not fit your needs. This plan is billed monthly, with the lowest monthly cost achieved when paying two years in advance.

All shared hosting customers at AvaHost benefit from a comprehensive suite of features that go beyond the basic resource quotas. You can choose whether your sites are hosted in a United States or European data center to optimize loading speeds for your visitors. The company uses enterprise-class Dual Quad Core Xeon servers with SSD drives configured in RAID-10 for high performance and redundancy. Each account comes with unlimited MySQL databases, support for PHP versions 5 through 7, Perl and Python scripting, a CGI-Bin, Zend Optimizer and IonCube loaders, FTP and WebDisk access, an online file manager, password-protected folders, server-side includes, .htaccess customization and cron job scheduling. The cPanel control panel provides access to visitor statistics, phpMyAdmin, MIME type editor, raw and error logs, GD, cURL and ImageMagick libraries and an error page editor; optional SSH access and static IP addresses are available on request. Email services include webmail, POP3 and SMTP servers, auto-responders, forwarding, mailing lists and anti-spam filtering, and every site receives a free SSL certificate installed automatically so it is accessed via the HTTPS protocol. You may test the service for ten days free of charge and take advantage of promotional discounts such as a 30 % coupon during special offers. AvaHost has been in business for more than two decades and backs all services with a 99 % uptime guarantee and friendly support staffed around the clock. Additional developer-oriented tools include the ability to edit raw code, create custom error pages and integrate third-party applications, making the platform suitable for both beginners and experienced webmasters who need a stable environment for their sites.

📄 Editorial Review

AvaHost is a long-running hosting company that has been providing hosting and domain registration services for more than two decades, with activity dating back to 2001. They position themselves as a reliable, established provider for personal websites and small-to-medium sized businesses, rather than a short-lived "cheap host". Their English-language site focuses on customers from the United States and other English-speaking markets, while also serving a broader international audience.

The service catalog is built around classic web hosting products enhanced with cloud and virtualization options. They offer shared hosting on cloud infrastructure with cPanel, virtual private servers (including cloud VPS with node-based scaling), classic VPS plans, WordPress hosting, and reseller hosting. On top of hosting, they provide domain registration, SSL certificates, and several website creation tools such as an online site builder and pre-packaged "site now" offers.

Shared hosting is presented as affordable, fast and secure cPanel hosting delivered from professional data centers. Marketing emphasises features like free domain name registration on some plans, free SSL certificates, multiple domains under one account, a browser-based site builder, and a large bundle of pre-installed scripts (forums, photo galleries, blogs, CMSs, shopping carts, guestbooks and more). They highlight support for PHP, MySQL, Perl, SSI and Python, plus one-click installers (historically Fantastico / Softaculous) to help less technical users get a site online quickly.
VPS and cloud VPS hosting target projects that need more control and guaranteed resources. Their cloud VPS description talks about virtual servers composed of "nodes", where each node contributes a fixed amount of resources such as RAM, SAN storage, CPU power and monthly bandwidth. Customers receive full root access, a VNC console, the ability to install any operating system and control panel, and can host any number of websites. This makes the VPS line suitable for developers, more intensive applications or agencies that need isolation and flexibility.

Reseller hosting is positioned for designers, agencies and entrepreneurs who want to sell hosting under their own brand. Plans are "unlimited" in concept (unlimited cPanel accounts and features up to the reseller’s overall allocation), include WHM for account management, and are covered by the same uptime and money-back guarantees as regular hosting. WordPress hosting and a separate site-builder offering round out the product line for users who want either a CMS-focused stack or a template-driven website creation tool.

Beyond hosting, AvaHost operates a domain registration service for around twenty popular domain zones, including the classic extensions like .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info and .us. They also sell SSL certificates as standalone products for customers who need commercial certificates or dedicated IP–backed setups, even though free SSL is included for standard hosting accounts. Overall, the portfolio covers most needs of typical website owners: domains, shared and VPS hosting, reseller accounts, site builder and security via SSL.

As of 2025, avahost.net seems left alone and the company is focusing on the new brand ava.hosting (this time registered in Republic of Moldova). They kept offshore registered address in Belize, although the location was probably Russia, Ukraine or Moldova from the beginning.
